Planet Protectors

This game is called 'Galactic Planet Protectors' and is about an outerspace organisation the protects planets. Their planet saving devices are called 'XcR's, a single XcR is the size of New Zealand and has a huge core that powers the wheel it rides in.

This is an Arcade game. So you have to survive as long as possible.

I hope you like it :D

The targets were all a bit small, though, not really varying much in size from what I saw, it was difficult to tell when you were getting close to losing (or if there was better indication, it was taking forever to get to that indication), and the turret seemed to run out of energy all too quickly.

I never finished a level (won or lost), because indications of winning/losing weren't really noticeable besides a number that didn't say what it meant and it was starting to drag.

Solid gameplay and good execution, well done. I did find the cool-off on the gun a bit annoying though. It doesn't seem to serve a purpose, and kinda distracts from the action-arcade experience. But well done, nonetheless.

Very good entry. The ambient sounds really set the mood. My first request would be to somehow to see the health of the planet so I can make decisions on which targets I should go after. My second request would be gun upgrades and power ups! I enjoyed playing it. You menu is really cool too. My high score was 715.
